Acrylic on canvas with stitching
A3 (30 x 40 cm)
 
This art was created in various stages:
First I photographed one of my favourite plants; the Barberry. (The photo was taken in the Buckinghamshire countryside in Autumn and is available to buy as a print from my Sonshine Art Mama Photography section.)
I then painted over the photo using my favourite art app.
Then I painted the digital image onto canvas.
Finally I added threads to emphasise shapes and add texture and interest. 
 
It has been an incredibly soothing and therapeutic process - like all my art is for me - and such a labour of love. I really love it. I'd love to know what you think. I'm currently working on 2 more images created in a similar fashion for anyone who misses out on this original, so watch this space.
